Kazimir (Kaz) Boyle was born in Chicago in 1976. He grew up playing the trombone and began writing music in his late teens. Kazimir received his Bachelor of Music in Composition from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign and completed the University of Southern California Film and Television Scoring graduate program. While working with Academy Award winning composer Hans Zimmer, Kazimir became proficient in the realm of electronic music production, which helped shape his career as a highly sought after support composer and arranger for feature films and television. In addition to Zimmer, Kazimir has been fortunate to have had opportunities to collaborate with many exceptional musicians including; living legend Quincy Jones, “Slumdog Millionaire” composer A.R.Rahman, Aaron Zigman, James Newton Howard, Craig Armstrong and Emmy winners Jim Dooley and Trevor Morris. Kaz established Flash Music LLC in Hollywood in 2003. In the years that followed, his composing brought him to Mumbai, Glasgow, London, New York, Chicago, New Orleans, Austin, and Nashville. In 2018 he accepted a position teaching orchestration within the Music Composition for the Screen MFA program at Columbia College Chicago. His musical style combines charm and wit, guided by melody and held together by an artful respect for arrangement.
